Metaphorical Geometry: Non habemus papam
http://catholicfeministeconomist.blogspot.com/2013/02/non-habemus-papam.html
Catholic Feminist Economist. In training. Monday, February 11, 2013. Apparently the Pope is resigning. Which is, well, earth-shattering. It's been something like six centuries since a Pope has resigned at all, and two centuries more since a Pope has done so voluntarily. (The 15th century occurrence was the resolution to a schism, so it's hard to call it voluntary.). Being willing to step down when no longer effective shows a love for the church over love for self, and that is something I can admire.

Metaphorical Geometry: April 2013
http://catholicfeministeconomist.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Catholic Feminist Economist. In training. Tuesday, April 9, 2013. Communion is not a reward for good behavior, and it certainly isn't a weapon. In the latest episode of American Bishops Saying Awful Things, the Archbishop of Detroit has apparently said that supporters of gay marriage should not be allowed to take communion. 160; He is far from the first bishop to say such an outrageous thing, just the most recent. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). This blog is mostly about three things:. A school of the heart.

In the latest episode of American Bishops Saying Awful Things, the Archbishop of Detroit has apparently said that supporters of gay marriage should not be allowed to take communion. He is far from the first bishop to say such an outrageous thing, just the most recent. Who are we, who is anyone, to go around saying who is deserving of Eucharist and who is not?

Metaphorical Geometry: October 2011
http://catholicfeministeconomist.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Catholic Feminist Economist. In training. Tuesday, October 18, 2011. First thoughts on graduate school in economics. A few observations that should be obvious, but continue to be overwhelming:. 1 Grad school is exhausting. You can never master everything, but you have to try. There is never an end in sight. 2 You are always behind, no matter what you do. This is particularly true for Americans, who tend to have less preparation than the European or east Asian students.

Metaphorical Geometry: February 2012
http://catholicfeministeconomist.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Catholic Feminist Economist. In training. Saturday, February 18, 2012. Contraception, Catholicism, and feminism. Monday, February 13, 2012. Frustrations: the bishops and birth control, grad school and Good Friday. Right now I feel caught in the middle. Caught between a Church that seems to be proud of trumpeting its utterly gothic attitudes about women and a secular world that has little room or respect for religious practice. Friday, February 10, 2012. It'll put hair on your chests".

Metaphorical Geometry: "It'll put hair on your chests"
http://catholicfeministeconomist.blogspot.com/2012/02/itll-put-hair-on-your-chests.html
Catholic Feminist Economist. In training. Friday, February 10, 2012. It'll put hair on your chests". My department's faculty is similarly skewed, except somewhat worse. Again, this is the case in almost every economics department, not a particular feature of my school. In fact, my program is notable for having a couple of very high-profile women faculty (though sadly one of them just left). Honestly, most of the time I don't notice that I'm surrounded by men. Which is why this kind of thing does give me ...

Metaphorical Geometry: Owning up to our own feminism
http://catholicfeministeconomist.blogspot.com/2012/09/owning-up-to-our-own-feminism.html
Catholic Feminist Economist. In training. Friday, September 21, 2012. Owning up to our own feminism. This started as a comment on a friend's blog. The friend was writing about something private, moderately heavy, and directly related to her identity as a woman. She felt compelled to add, at the end, that. I mean, you guys know that I'm not like an extreme feminist or anything, and right now I don't even feel anger toward the male race in general.". Be normal for women to say things like that. Funny thing...

Metaphorical Geometry: Stubenville and the stark gender divide in how we think and talk about rape
http://catholicfeministeconomist.blogspot.com/2013/03/stubenville-and-stark-gender-divide-in.html
Catholic Feminist Economist. In training. Tuesday, March 19, 2013. Stubenville and the stark gender divide in how we think and talk about rape. Like many of my friends, I've been reeling over the past couple of days at the media's coverage of the Stubenville verdict. The extent of sympathy for the perpetrators of the crime, the implicit message that the life of the young woman who was raped is so much less valuable than the lives of the young men who raped her, it all fills me with inarticulate rage.

Catholic Feminist Economist. In training. Tuesday, March 19, 2013. Stubenville and the stark gender divide in how we think and talk about rape. A really low bar to set? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). This blog is mostly about three things:. 8226; the Catholic faith, experienced as a lay woman with an interest in social justice. 8226; economics, both research and graduate school, and. 8226; feminism, which I appreciate more with every post-college reality check. I am officially "in training" as an economics ...
